The most ridiculous part of the last 12 hours is realizing that for years—maybe even a decade, since it’s 2026 now and these two started dating in 2016—Prince Harry has been complaining about how his family is “in bed with the media,” especially with his so-called “fake black wife.” But after the text messages revealed last night—which we only saw a couple of—the truth is far more extensive. Over the course of two months, these messages paint a very different picture.
Contrary to Harry’s claims, it’s not the royal family cozying up to the press—it appears to be him. At least, that’s what these exchanges suggest. Let’s not forget, Harry once said he didn’t even know her at first, and when he did, he supposedly cut off contact. Yet the reality seems to be that he reached out first, using a fake profile and signing off as “H,” to which she replied with playful nicknames like “Mr. Mischief.”
The back-and-forth between them is cringe-worthy and utterly revealing. They were being flirty, playful, and even reckless—texts about being drunk, losing cars, and joking about “beating” someone on the motorway suggest a wild weekend. There are hints Harry may have been driving under the influence. From pizza to joking about “nose candy” to outrageous drunken antics, these messages show two adults acting in ways that are far from innocent.
It’s striking that Harry, who has repeatedly criticized others for being close to the media, is literally exchanging flirtatious, behind-the-scenes messages with journalists. And over the years, the same woman continued to write supportive pieces about him. The hypocrisy is glaring.
Some messages are almost absurd—talk of freebies, dodging responsibilities, drunken escapades, and even casual comments about charity events and phone numbers. It’s all very telling about their private lives and their recklessness. Reading through it, it’s hard to believe that these exchanges were purely platonic. The flirtation, the sexual undertones, and the repeated cutesy banter make it clear: Harry is intimately entangled with the media.
To wrap up, these messages confirm not only that Harry is inconsistent in his statements, but that he has been, and probably still is, very much “in bed” with the media. The text exchanges with Charlotte Griffiths—and potentially others like Katie Nicholl—show a pattern that contradicts his public complaints about press intrusion. Whatever he claims, the private reality looks very different.
